Photos of Sarah Palin’s U.N./NYC Visit
By SusanUnPC on September 23, 2008 at 2:19 PM in Sarah Palin
Via the New York Times’s blog — the media are obsessing about their lack of access today to Sarah Palin’s meetings, but I thought I’d blow that off and instead show you these great photographs. For more detail on each meeting, do check the NYT blog report. However, I did include a bit of the NYT report on Gov. Palin’s meeting with Karzai, simply because it is touching. You’ll find that story and photo below the fold.

Palin and Karzai Bond Over Children | 1 p.m. When Gov. Sarah Palin sat down with President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan on Tuesday afternoon, the polite preliminaries to their conversation centered around children, as Mr. Karzai spoke of the birth of his first child last year.
“What is his name?” Ms. Palin was heard to ask, as she met with Mr. Karzai in the suite of a midtown hotel, according to a pool report.
“Mirwais,” Mr. Karzai replied. “Mirwais, which means, ‘The Light of the House.’”
“Oh nice,” Palin responded.
“He is the only one we have,” Mr. Karzai said. …

Palin is McCain’s gift to America. Over and above the line of duty. Like always.
Apparently, she’s McCain’s gift to Obama as well:

Not this independent nor the 7 independents I know of in Denver. We are going for Mac and Palin, and are volunteering. The way I look at it, weI have 42 days to let Colorado know about Barry Soetoro.
This might be difficult, as no one outside of your 8-person PUMA brigade will know who “Barry Soetoro” is. But good luck, anyhow.
Yeah, and the polls during the primaries showed Barky winning PA. If memory serves, after Bittergate, the polls took him down just a teeny bit, yet he still lost–big time.
The polls don’t seem to reflect we the people’s true opinions very accurately, do they?
The polls didn’t show him winning PA.
OK, they showed it close. He lost by almost 10 points.
Obama and company, including you, are sweating and you know it. After the fireworks start, look on this NoQ page, it won’t even be close.
McCain-Palin actually asking questions about the bailout – not eager to save hides on Wall Street without oversight – that resonates with Main Street, especially when you are leading with REFORM.
TOOTLES, OBAMANUTS, check this out – READ ‘EM AND WEEP:
By ALAN FRAM and TREVOR TOMPSON, Associated Press Writers
WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama’s support from backers of Hillary Rodham Clinton is stuck smack where it was in June, a poll showed Tuesday, a stunning lack of progress that is weakening him with members of the Democratic Party in the close presidential race.
An Associated Press-Yahoo! News poll shows that among adults who backed his rival during their bitter primary campaign, 58 percent now support Obama. That is the same percentage who said so in June, when Clinton ended her bid and urged her backers to line up behind the Democratic senator from Illinois.
..
Clinton backers’ reluctance to support Obama helps explain why he is having a tougher time solidifying partisan supporters than McCain. Overall, 74 percent of Democrats say they will vote for Obama, compared to 87 percent of Republicans behind the Arizona senator. About nine in 10 Clinton supporters are Democrats.
The problem that supporters of Clinton, the New York senator, have with Obama seems to flow from their measure of him as a candidate, not from issues. From establishing a timeline for a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq to abortion to canceling tax cuts on the rich, their views of the importance of issues are virtually identical to Democrats in general.
Yet they find Obama less likable, honest, experienced and inspiring than Democrats overall do, and have a better view of McCain. And while majorities of Clinton supporters say Obama shares their values and understands ordinary Americans, they’re less likely to say so than Democrats overall.
How’s that 50 state plan doing? Oh. By the way. Try to stay on thread. This one is about Governor Palin. There is an open thread. Post your nonsense there. Where it belongs.
Go for it Vinnie : Loved my time in CO had a mini vacation over convention time…
If I had it my way would be back there tomorrow…. Left my heart in Boulder….
Never heard of your PPP poll, but I wouldn’t put too much faith in it. There was a recent in-depth article of an interview with Colorado’s governor explaining the change in Colorado’s constituency lately. It seems many of the so called elite’s who swarm to Vail to ski are now taking up permanent residence in Colorado and changing the make-up of certain parts of the state. Why do you think Howard Dean picked Denver for the convention?
But as one famous president said “the only poll that counts is the one taken in the voting booth on election day”.
I second this and that poll will pronounce McCain/Palin loud and clear so that you trolls cannot mistake it.
PPP is a partisan Democratic pollster and one of the worst in the business.
Wait until the upcoming McCain ad quoting Barry as saying that Latino’s should not be allowed to steal African American seat in the Illinois legislature hits the airwaves. (in English and Spanish). When Latino voters find out how 0bama feels about them, and that he conspired to deny them representation, McCain will win NM and CO by at least 8 points.
http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2008/09/obama-practiced-race-based-politics-as.html
Wow, I didn’t know that! This would make for a great ad in Spanish!
Yes, this quote needs to get out to the Latino voters.
Barry apparently wanted to redistrict so that Latino and Asian voters would become a minority in mainly white districts, rather than potentially replace a black representative with a Latino or Asian one.
Pure racism and in its worst form, diluting the votes of certain minorities.
Personally, I think districts shoud be drawn as close to square as possible, and let the demographics fall where they may. We need to get past identity politics.
But Barack Obama wants to ensure that a maximum number of black representatives are elected at the expense of Asian and Latino ones.
Disgraceful! (but par for the Obama course).
oy, I had read that somewhere, don’t remember where…..it was while he was in the state senate.
“Si bien todos están de acuerdo en que la población hispana ha crecido, no pueden ampliar mediante la adopción de African-American asientos”, dijo Obama.”
I guess only ONE minority is entitled to is representation, is that what he is saying? So much for another group.
Above my pay grade: I’m in NM and am doing my best to get the word out for McCain/Palin. I hope you’re right about the ad!
“It seems like the more voters have learned about Sarah Palin the less they’ve liked her”
It seems such a rash conclusion for a pollster to reach in a few days. But you understand it better if you check his list of clients:

Yeah right..sure..just like when you obots said everyone hates the Clintons..sure. Tell me another one.
I thought robocalls were illegal. Am I wrong?
Hmmm … I wonder if these are the same people who came out with a new poll in Virginia today that showd Obama ahead by 10 points?
I was born & raised in Virginia and I can guarantee you that Barack Obama ain’t ahead by 10 points in Virginia!!!
Take these small intra-state polls done by organizations that nobody’s ever heard of with a large grain of salt. The best way to determine who’s running a head in a particular state is to take all the polls together as a group. Based on that measurement, Obama has a slight lead in Colorado … not adjusted for the Bradley Effect, of course. And in a state like Colorado which is overwhelmingly white, the Bradley Effect will be significant.
So, what you’re saying is: Coloradans won’t vote for Obama because he’s black. Quality assumption you’re making there – I don’t think it’ll play out that way.
But wasn’t Palin supposed to HELP McCain in the Mountain West? John & Sarah are getting their butts handed to them in New Mexico, too…
And Barky was supposed to have S. Dakota, Georgia and S. Carolina locked up. Closed all his offices in those 3 states in the last week or so. Threw in the towel. The rest will be forthcoming soon. Stay tuned.
Coloradians won’t for Obama because he is inadequate. Can you spell i-n-a-d-e-q-u-a-t-e?
Gee. I guess that is why 0mama is pulling out of Montana? How do you deliberately avoid facing facts?
The question is: Have they learned the truth about Palin, or rather the many scurrilous falsehoods about her perpetrated by the Obama campaign? The media has really outdone itself in pushing lies about this woman to aid Obama. Does this remind anyone of the media’s part in the run-up to the Iraq War?
You are such a dreamer, dream on and hope on.
PPP is in the bag for Obama. They had the most slanted polling during the primaries. They weighted the AA vote greater than the actual percentage in the population. They are a joke.
How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis: Kevin Hassett
Commentary by Kevin Hassett
Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) — The financial crisis of the past year has provided a number of surprising twists and turns, and from Bear Stearns Cos. to American International Group Inc., ambiguity has been a big part of the story.
Why did Bear Stearns fail, and how does that relate to AIG? It all seems so complex.
But really, it isn’t. Enough cards on this table have been turned over that the story is now clear. The economic history books will describe this episode in simple and understandable terms: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exploded, and many bystanders were injured in the blast, some fatally.
Fannie and Freddie did this by becoming a key enabler of the mortgage crisis. They fueled Wall Street’s efforts to securitize subprime loans by becoming the primary customer of all AAA-rated subprime-mortgage pools. In addition, they held an enormous portfolio of mortgages themselves.
In the times that Fannie and Freddie couldn’t make the market, they became the market. Over the years, it added up to an enormous obligation. As of last June, Fannie alone owned or guaranteed more than $388 billion in high-risk mortgage investments. Their large presence created an environment within which even mortgage-backed securities assembled by others could find a ready home.
The problem was that the trillions of dollars in play were only low-risk investments if real estate prices continued to rise. Once they began to fall, the entire house of cards came down with them.
Turning Point
Take away Fannie and Freddie, or regulate them more wisely, and it’s hard to imagine how these highly liquid markets would ever have emerged. This whole mess would never have happened.
It is easy to identify the historical turning point that marked the beginning of the end.
Back in 2005, Fannie and Freddie were, after years of dominating Washington, on the ropes. They were enmeshed in accounting scandals that led to turnover at the top. At one telling moment in late 2004, captured in an article by my American Enterprise Institute colleague Peter Wallison, the Securities and Exchange Comiission’s chief accountant told disgraced Fannie Mae chief Franklin Raines that Fannie’s position on the relevant accounting issue was not even “on the page” of allowable interpretations.
Then legislative momentum emerged for an attempt to create a “world-class regulator” that would oversee the pair more like banks, imposing strict requirements on their ability to take excessive risks. Politicians who previously had associated themselves proudly with the two accounting miscreants were less eager to be associated with them. The time was ripe.
Greenspan’s Warning
The clear gravity of the situation pushed the legislation forward. Some might say the current mess couldn’t be foreseen, yet in 2005 Alan Greenspan told Congress how urgent it was for it to act in the clearest possible terms: If Fannie and Freddie “continue to grow, continue to have the low capital that they have, continue to engage in the dynamic hedging of their portfolios, which they need to do for interest rate risk aversion, they potentially create ever-growing potential systemic risk down the road,” he said. “We are placing the total financial system of the future at a substantial risk.”
What happened next was extraordinary. For the first time in history, a serious Fannie and Freddie reform bill was passed by the Senate Banking Committee. The bill gave a regulator power to crack down, and would have required the companies to eliminate their investments in risky assets.
Different World
If that bill had become law, then the world today would be different. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, a blizzard of terrible mortgage paper fluttered out of the Fannie and Freddie clouds, burying many of our oldest and most venerable institutions. Without their checkbooks keeping the market liquid and buying up excess supply, the market would likely have not existed.
But the bill didn’t become law, for a simple reason: Democrats opposed it on a party-line vote in the committee, signaling that this would be a partisan issue. Republicans, tied in knots by the tight Democratic opposition, couldn’t even get the Senate to vote on the matter.
That such a reckless political stand could have been taken by the Democrats was obscene even then. Wallison wrote at the time: “It is a classic case of socializing the risk while privatizing the profit. The Democrats and the few Republicans who oppose portfolio limitations could not possibly do so if their constituents understood what they were doing.”
Mounds of Materials
Now that the collapse has occurred, the roadblock built by Senate Democrats in 2005 is unforgivable. Many who opposed the bill doubtlessly did so for honorable reasons. Fannie and Freddie provided mounds of materials defending their practices. Perhaps some found their propaganda convincing.
But we now know that many of the senators who protected Fannie and Freddie, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Christopher Dodd, have received mind-boggling levels of financial support from them over the years.
Throughout his political career, Obama has gotten more than $125,000 in campaign contributions from employees and political action committees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, second only to Dodd, the Senate Banking Committee chairman, who received more than $165,000.
Clinton, the 12th-ranked recipient of Fannie and Freddie PAC and employee contributions, has received more than $75,000 from the two enterprises and their employees. The private profit found its way back to the senators who killed the fix.
There has been a lot of talk about who is to blame for this crisis. A look back at the story of 2005 makes the answer pretty clear.
Oh, and there is one little footnote to the story that’s worth keeping in mind while Democrats point fingers between now and Nov. 4: Senator John McCain was one of the three cosponsors of S.190, the bill that would have averted this mess.

Apparently, Obama is loosing his “magic” in the process — and in many states, he’s losing his lead.
Obama is a has been. The big crowds of supporters and the amazing excitement are with Governor Sarah Palin!
Elect John McCain President of the US.
Absolutely right on. I am a Hillary Democrat and I have come to be in awe of John McCain. He is DIGNITY in action. I really want these people to run our country.
GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS!!!
he loves AMERICA
yeah, me too, I can see that when world leaders meet her, they’er not gonna want problems with her, they are gonna want to solve problems WITH HER…..this is called diplomacy, this is how adults with conscience act, this is how leaders should be,
they should not sneaking around like soetorotraitor,
Palin will bring grace and civil meetings with world leaders, bringing more talk, and more positions to negotiate…..
Yes, I agree…I would be proud to have her represent our country to other world leaders….
ME too….and Me three!
What makes these fascist think that a good hockey mom/governor couldn’t handle everything a man can….as far as I see the political pros don’t know what their doing…but I bet a hockey mom is just what America and its children (young and old) need. Love, orginizaton, authenicity, energy, style, flare, aggression when needed, soothing when appropriate.
Obama hates or at least disrespects women because his mother was a skanky whore….he thinks we are all that way!!
Screw you Osama Bin Biden…you make every cell in my body quiver in fear…you need to be outed for the flaky, lazy, arrogant, twisted, delusional, hypocritical, down-low, crack smoking dope that you are! OBAMA IS A FASCISTS-PURE AND SIMPLE.
If not….America, hold on to your hat (we’re in for a 9.5 earthquake from which recovery will be impossible.
OOPS…..I mean: Obama Bin Biden.
He disrespects women but you called his mom a skanky whore? Ok.
Oh man this is a good one Susan! The pics are awesome. Kissinger likes her. I think we have an all around winner. ding ding ding. Behind every successful woman is a great supportive father. Check it out.
McCain/Palin
country before party.
Citizens for McCain!
To TillThen: I find your comment very moving, given your background and age.
Unlike Obama, I know that if she’s given a job, she will perform it by working harder than anyone else. Obama blows off his responsibilities, like his chairmanship of the European Affairs subcommittee. Sarah Palin would have knocked herself out to do that job right. And I know she’ll do it with every challenge she meets.
One of the reporters yelled “Hey Sarah, is this the no-talk express.?” Also, check out this Politico story about how Sarah playing Hooky.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13736.html
She is not Hillary Clinton.
F you. I’m glad she’s not Hillary Clinton. Your person is out campaigning for a terrorist sympathizer. You idiot.
Terrorist sympathizer? Are you talking about Sarah Palin’s Husband who was a member of an anti-American party and whose founder died trying to buy explosives?
cocky whacko? I’m sure you’re just being droll with that screen name, but what a fitting name for a Kool-aid addicted Obot. Hope you’re spending your $7/hour wisely.
If Obama is elected, he will raise the minimum wage and I will get a raise. What do we get if McCain is elected? Tax cuts for rich people, more pollution, conservative judges, end or Roe v. Wade, and 100 years in Iraq.
LOL! Glad to see there’s at least one Obot with a sense of humor.
Naw, laugh at it if you must but this poor bugger is lost.
….all we’ll get with Mccain is…….FREEDOM!!!!!
And I’ll take Freedom over Fascism anyday and anytime.
If everybody just took care of their own and one or two neighbors on occasion….we wouldn’t be in this Fascist Utopian nightmare.
I give 10% of my pay check away to the needy around me….according to studies us non-radical progressives GIVE more than 50% more to others than progressives do, (wall street journal 2005)…..!!!
That says it all to me…..it has nothing to do with the “down trodden” to you radical progressives but everything to do with POWER and MONEY to destroy American forever…… You traitors and Poverty Pimps….To hell with OBAMA and Obamanots
“Non-radical Progressives”= Conservatives and centrist socialists.
I’m far far away from being rich, but I have a few investments.. I struggle with income as many do..I don’t want to be taxed 25 percent when I decide to sell them in the future. Also, Obama is going to re-instate the death tax… anyone who is not rich, but has some inheritance coming to them, will be taxed big time!!
replying to my own comment.. also, if Obama gets in and starts taxing people that want to or already own a business, that will put a real crimp in both small and larger startup companies, and, will impact employees, either by lowering their incomes or having to be let go.
Wow, a real substantive comment and a genuine policy reason for not supporting Obama. However, some of your facts are wrong. Obama said he would consider raising the top rate on capital gains, but only for people making over 250,000. The same is true for small business owners. If you are in the top personal income tax rate your taxes will go up, but only for those with high incomes. The estate tax also only affects people who have very large estates. In any case, most of these taxes sunset at the end of 2010 and will go back to pre-Bush levels. That includes tax cuts for middle class families . Any changes will have to be negotiated by the President and Congress. They are going up unless someone changes it. Tax cuts for middle class families are more likely to be protected under an Obama administration.
on 60 minutes this week obama ‘refined’ his statement about taxing $250,000 and up.. I think he said that $150,000 to $250,000 will be taxed but not as much as $250,000. In terms of raising estate taxes.. my family will leave a certain amount that many would consider a lot.. I know I do, but I have 5 siblings, so it won’t be all that much when it gets to me.. that original amount will be taxed at a high rate, if I understand this correctly.
I don’t know about 150, but most of the increase will be for the very rich. McCain is going to increase taxes for working people by eliminating their deduction for health care. His tax plan actually will hurt middle income people much more.
McCain is going to increase taxes for working people by eliminating their deduction for health care.
mccain’s plan is to give everyone 5k for health and increase deductions for children from 3500 to 7k.
stop spouting your lies.
Right. Let’s punish those who take care of their assets, invest wisely, spend responsibly, and save money to will to their heirs, instead spending it all on themselves.
Socialism here we come if The One gets to the White House.
People like Paris Hilton and Cindy McCain.
Even with the Estate tax Cindy is able to afford 9 houses and 13 cars.
Was that the argument agaist kerry?
That he was too rich due to the fact that he married a wealthy woman?
That’s a real substantive argument.
Kerry is married money. And he is your hero Wight?
Silly arguements. HEY WACKO,
If your going to tell someone their facts are wrong prove it.
You can’t.
Do you really understand finance and estate tax? Apparently not and therefore that’s why you blog for Obama, wacko.
But nice stab at trying to rebel rouse the audience. Is that on page 17 of the Obama Camp Indoctrination Manual?
I got an e-mail invite to go to camp obama
I replied that I was too well to attend.
LOL!! Good one.
What does Paris Hilton, Cindy McCain or Kerry have to do with ordinary people being concerned about keeping what they have? Doesn’t make sense to me.
Also, you didn’t address the important issue of business startups and employees losing their jobs if Obama starts taxing owners higher in this economy.
Obama is not taxing business start ups as far as I know. The case that people make about hurting small business is that many small business people pay tax on individuals and make more than 300,000, which puts them in the top rate. He also plans to help them with other breaks. Here is the statement from his site
Barack Obama and Joe Biden will eliminate all capital gains taxes on start-up and small businesses to encourage innovation and job creation. Obama and Biden will also support small business owners by providing a $500 “Making Work Pay” tax credit to almost every worker in America. Self-employed small business owners pay both the employee and the employer side of the payroll tax, and this measure will reduce the burdens of this double taxation.
You Obots are so clueless!! Don’t you know every time you pound your keyboard and put up another post, you entrench yet another Democrat into the McCain/Palin ranks??!!
You must have got the brilliant idea to invade anti-Obama boards from your Messiah. He is stupid enough to think this strategy will win votes.
Well, it will win votes…for McCain. Keep digging your hole in quicksand.
Note to NQ’ers: Yes, I’m being a broken record with this post. To beat an Obot, you have to think like an Obot…LOL! (think Bill Murray in Caddyshack talking about gophers)
As far as the estate tax goes, I don’t see why people should not pay taxes on money they inherit. However, there should be a large exemption. Obama would have a 7 million dollar exemption for married couples. That seems reasonable to me, especially since most people inherit capital gains and never pay taxes on those gains.

This is for the moron leaving the incredibly STUPID response about taxing inherited money:
IT WAS TAXED THE FIRST TIME IT WAS EARNED — USUALLY AT THE HIGHEST RATE … I wish you idiots would learn to use you G-D brains!
why do people begrudge what other people have? Where does the government get off playing Robinhood? Is there a reason people just can’t work for what they have instead of expecting the government to give it to them? cock wacko, you do indeed fit your name.
Agree Postmaster.
I am not rich and I don’t want to take from someone who sacrificed and worked for something that I didn’t.
My brother works 8 hours, comes home and works another 8 hours building cabinets in his small business.
He pays plenty of taxes now and would fall into that 250,000 bracket. He works hard and deserves the American dream. Shame on anyone that would want to take from him and his family.
hear, hear, tampagirl, my thoughts exactly.
my son and his wife are nurses they work 8 hrs at a hospital and on their way home they do home health care visits getting home at 9 or 10 o’clok at nigth, they work very hard for that 250,ooo a year and i dont think is fair for “THE ONE” to take their money to give to others that dont work as hard or dont work at all.
off economic topic but why in the world do you suppose anyone would feel the need to write not 1 but 2 autobiographies??? And… use part his time in the first 2 years of his senate position to write the 2nd autobiography.
This November 5th (he won’t be too busy)he’ll start writing his third book entitled, “Dang! What was I Thinking?: One Man’s Reflection on a Failed Presidential Campaign”.
cocky wacko: evev with states taxes cindy ia able to have 9 houses.
cindy mccain is philanthropist she spend millions in charity work througth the world and in our country with poor
children.
The number is SEVEN and three of them are inhabited by:
her elderly aunt
her elderly mother in law
her daughter
The women is providing for her family.
Since when did it become a SIN in America to look out for your family?
…..You mean true blue FASCISM if OBAMA gets in. Socialism is no longer the issue here (esp. with Hillary Clinton gone)
People please…I beg you….read:
“”LIBERAL FASCISM”" by Jonah Goldberg (most important thing you will ever, ever read)
Its extremely well referenced and written. READ IT NOW!
If you want to understand the philosophy of Barack Obama read this book!
28% to be exact. up from 15%.. Get the politicians out of our economy!
cocky whacko….Obama said this morning that he will have to delay all of the new give away programs he promised. Sorry, no raise this time.
You don’t realize that if Obama raises your minimum wage, he’s gonna tax it all back. Where the heck else could he get a trillion dollars for all of his socialist programs?
Don’t be fooled. Study Obama’s past, I challenge you to do so:

Just say NO to Obama.
He is not raising taxes on families with incomes below 250,000. Also, his policies are more fiscally responsible than McCain’s or Bush’s. I think the fact that he is willing to rethink his programs as conditions changes show he is a true leader. Has McCain said that he is going to abandon his irresponsible tax cuts? Just say not to McSame.
Those that make under 250,000 won’t have their taxes raised but they probably won’t have a job either after Obama is done. Everything they purchase will cost them more. They won’t need a car because they won’t be able to afford gas for their car.
Tampa girl …
CW doesn’t realize that after this mess with the economy there won’t be as many people earning 250K and up … to pay all of King 0mama’s taxes.
I am a member on some forums where I write and speak to veterans. McCain the Mc-Bushniki clone doesn’t seem to set well for them, if you knew anything about what these guys and gals felt about the current situation with the economy and the war in Iraq and the possibility with more wars down the line , it might open your eyes to the abuse and suffering they have suffered under this current administration. They are quite discouraged with things as they are. Many have not been given the proper health care, many have committed suicide, many have been denied the benefits they earned and they also object to the war in Iraq and how it has played out. Bush has shown hostility toward our troops , slashed into programs for them ,claiming they are too expensive. Many suffer from PTSD ,brain injury and are even suicidal, many are homeless on the street, I read an estimated 250,000 up to a million. Ok folks, what is your beef here? if you vote for McCain just because you are bitter about Hillary not be elected, I know I wanted her to get elected too. But Palin is pretty much a part of the religious right crowd. It’s not even funny. Think about these men and women who have been left out of the system and how much they had sacrificed for their country.Put yourself in their shoes. Many are disillusioned , as a part of stop loss they are being sent back to Iraq in spite of injuries and mental problems such as PTSD , and brain injuries and other injuries. For once listen to their voices. Vote for McCain and Bush polices then. He voted with Bush and estimated 90-95 % of the time this year. Think about the economic crises now. What do you really want , think carefully ,your vote will make an impact on the lives of others and shape foreign policies and domestic policies to come. Yes it’s not just you in your own little universe whose feelings who matters, there are a lot of people who are really concerned with the state of affairs and don’t want the last eight years to impact their lives in the future to come. By the way, my dad was a vet in Korea , and Vietnam, he also was apart of the security of this country which was pretty much top secret. I didn’t even know what he really did , other than being in the army. I really didn’t find out til later when he died. My brother was also in the military. Think long and hard about your decision then.
The Republican Congress also let our wounded vets lie around in their own urine.
Remember that the next time a Republican tells you how patriotic he is.
But tragically, Kay, Obama is not a real Democrat. He won’t help our military people a bit.
you know, that moniker ‘mcsame’ does absolutely nothing. everyone knows mccain is not bush, never has been bush, has battled bush, doesn’t like bush and probably didn’t even vote for bush.
give it up..it’s tired and boring.
What a load of crap “Kay”,
I also no a lot of soldiers and they are voting for McCain.
I think you are the one who should think long and hard before you vote for the terrorist defender.
sorry not no – Know
Obama is raising taxes on everyone who has stocks. Obama is raising taxes on every business in America.
Obama today says he’s going to cut spending while increasing programs by a trillion.
The only way to do that is disarm our military and tax everyone in the country.
That means you!!!
Wrong again. Obama’s tax increase only affect families making over 250,000. On the other hand, McCain would increase taxes on working people by taxing health benefits.
How are you going to pay for your socialism?
We know…
Tax the rich and corporations and cause a great depression
Also capitulating in Iraq and cutting defense so that you can appease Achmadinajad and cause American defeat and humiliation in the world
Check out this site and you can see how much better Democrats are for the economy and budget than Republican. Everyone does better under Democrats excepts the very rich.

In the end all that matters to me is who will keep me safe.
The democrats are the party of defeat!
Kathy,
It’s more offensive than that. A dem party member called Governor Palin a cocky whacko in yet another attempt to prove the temperment of the left.
And that troll up there knows damn well neither Sarah nor her husband were members of an anti american party. Not ever. Gov Palin has ALWAYS been a Republican. She addressed that rumor with Sean Hannity.
But Obama on the other hand,Anti American hmmm….once again bot, every road you go down to demonize Palin will lead you right back to Obama.
Good luck in your travels,little insignificant bot.
Ugh!!! Disgusting!!! Thank you McHope for the background on that moniker. I take back my sense of humor compliment. This one’s yet another pernicious Obot.
Actually, it was Lincoln Chafee who was a Republican Senator. And, Todd Palin was a member of that party. Sarah just gave speeches of support and asked for their votes. Get your facts straight.
Incoherent ramblings.
Chafee is a former Senator and is actually an independent who supports none other than the Cocky terrorist appeaser Obama.
Better?
Lots of people in Alaska voted for Gov Plain and she’s got the highest approval rating of any Gov. Seems she works well with members of all parties or no party at all.
Although she hasn’t counted an insane God Damn America Hating con artist ‘preacher’ as her mentor and dedicated a fictional autobiography to him, you feel free to continue to slander her.
Gov Palin *sp
That issue is a non starter
Sarah Palin is an American Nationalist and Patriot
Never knew an Obot that was good with maps.
Does Cocko Whaco know this…..Your man did not win the primaries…. and is not winning the GE either!
The DNC has released it’s count of the primaries. Obama only took the pledged delegates by 17. No wonder they had to give him four from Mighigan, not fully count Florida, rig every delegate they could steal from Tx.
The Final Tally On The Popular Vote:
Hillary Clinton 17,857,446 — 48.04%
Barack Obama 17,584,649 — 47.31%
The Final Pledged Delegate Count
Hillary Clinton 1,730.5 — 39.17%
Barack Obama 1,747.5 — 39.55%
The count you give is if FL and MI are fully counted. So, even in the best case scenario, Hillary still was behind. The only way Hillary wins the popular vote is if you count Michigan and Florida and do not count the caucus states. Why wouldn’t you count the caucus states? Let me guess — not everyone got a chance to vote. Oh, but in Michigan Obama wasn’t even on the ballot. Obama won fair and square.
For good measure:
You Obots are so clueless!! Don’t you know every time you pound your keyboard and put up another post, you entrench yet another Democrat into the McCain/Palin ranks??!!
You must have got the brilliant idea to invade anti-Obama boards from your Messiah. He is stupid enough to think this strategy will win votes.
Well, it will win votes…for McCain. Keep digging your hole in quicksand.
When Obama loses 8 of the last 13 contests and most of them are swing states you have problems.
When Obama loses 9 out of the 10 biggest states you have problems.
When 40% of Hillary supporters are still against Obama you have BIG PROBLEMS!!!!
They count no matter what anyone says. Those votes belong to her. The delegates were blocked and stolen. It doesn’t mean there is any block on the actual vote count obot. There were no rules on vote count. Doh! Go learn something instead of talking about things you know nothing about. Doh!
She was behind even when she got those votes. You must be really fun at your kids Little League games. Someone has to win and someone has to lose. Get over it.
We’re over it!!
Now you pay for your idiocy!!
Country First
Just say NO to Democrat Marxists
um, moron, bo asked that the florida and michigan delegates be seated in full.
this is the final delegate count, after he stole the nomination.
I may be a moron, but I know how to count. Even when you count Fl and MI, she was behind. The Super Delegates supported Obama. He wins. Now is that so hard.
These numbers were released by the DNC. Go to their website wacko.
Geez, people down here in the Lower 48 are soooo ignorant of Alaska. Made a stupid conclusion based on a bunch of partisan bias and lies. (BTW, Howie, strike Alaska off your “potential” battleground state on your map. Alaskans are hating what’s being said about ‘em).
There has been a contingent of people who want to succeed from the union up there since it first became a state. And a lot of those people are fine, upstanding citizens, not raving lunatic types, unlike the frothing-at-the-mouths, bobble-headed Obots.
dpvegas,
I am sure that is the case. I actually do not think that Obama’s husband is anti-American or that he supports terrorists. However, this is the kind of ridiculous charge that is made against Obama. Look at the Kurtz article today, he makes this big deal about going through the Annenberg papers and comes up with nothing. I have seen people here try to make the Annenberg foundation out to be some left-wing outfit, when Annenberg was a conservative and good friend of Ronald Reagan. It is all very silly and kind of sad. There are lots of good reasons to vote for John McCain, but the goofy conspiracy theories thrown up here are not among them.
Well, what you think and what you type seem to be two different things. I doubt that anyone reading your words knew what you were thinking. And your typewritten words were still offensive and degrading of Alaskans in general.
Might be a good idea to use self-editing when typing. Just a friendly suggestion.
You think that wanting to secede from the union is a reasonable position to take? Many people on this site think Rev. Wright was anti-American because he was angry about a lot of American policy and history. Here is a guy fought for his country and lived through a time or horrible racism. I don’t agree with what he said, but I think he has much more right to be resentful of America than the bozos in the Alaskan Independence Party.
You Obots are so clueless!! Don’t you know everytime you pound your keyboard and put up another post, you entrench yet another Democrat into the McCain/Palin column??!!
You must have got the brilliant idea to invade anti-Obama boards from your Messiah. He is stupid enough to figure this strategy will win votes. Well, it will win votes…for McCain.
Keep digging your hole in quicksand.
Maybe Larry Sinclair was right all along.
You just lost some precious points for that slip
Hmmmm….
Michelle?….makes you wonder now, doesn’t it?
Nothing but a 20 year connection between Obama and his friend from the neighborhood. Oh, and a failed program Obama seems to not list on his resume and a colossal waste and misuse of funds.
Nothing, if you say so.
Um, your interpretation of Kurtzs’ review of the Annenberg Challenge shows your ignorance of what he was trying to approve.
WHY does uhbama not bring up his executive experience on the board, when he’s being attacked for not having any experience?
Why, it places the spotlight on..ding ding ding, Ayers.
You’re FUNNY.
I’m a HillaryDem, and I approve this message.
No-bama!
Obama’s husband is anti-American
Damn, I knew he was gay and you confirm what many already know; he is somebody’s “bitch”. Good luck with that.
(no offense intended to the gay community)
” …a contingent of people who want to succeed from the union…”
Make that secede, please.
Oops, thank you. After having lived in Alaska, I should know how to spell that. And my mom being a teacher, too. Thank goodness she doesn’t use the internet.
Considering how deranged people are getting down here in the 48, who could blame any Alaskans who did want to leave the Union.
The people down here give you guys no respect.
I’m embarrassed for the entire country
I don’t live in Alaska anymore, but I still have friends up there. Alaskan’s are tough and they know how to handle all this muddle and muck. I’m sure they’ll show us all at the polls on 4 November.
we should ALL want to live in south chicago!
The lower 48 and East is ignorant of the West for that matter. And I don’t mean California.
They still think we run around on horse and buggies.
Just who are you referring to? If it is Hillary you are referring to then please remember what blog you are on – this is NOT a Republican “smear the Deomcrats” blog – at least not the last time I looked.
None of us are real over-joyed about Hillary Stumping for that pathetic piece of shit, but most of us understand that Hillary has to do what she has to do. We don’t know all the intricacies playing out during this election. Hillary does – she knows more than we do. She IS a democrat – and I have no doubt the party is leaning on her pretty hard. She said back in the primaries if Obama was the nominee then she would work her heart out to see that he gets elected. She is a person of her word. Just as is John McCain.
And this is why most of us here support McCain-Palin because we trust them more than we do Obama-Biden. But make no mistake. we are STILL democrats and actually more so than Obama Dems. We also understand that to get our party back to it’s original grassroots we have to get rid of the big players (Peolsi, Reid, Howard Dean and Donna Brazile, just because she is insane) and this will NOT happen if Obama is elected to office.
Go to another site if you want to put Hillary down…
Check again, because that’s EXACTLY what it has become! Once you let the hate and lies out of the box, it can’t be put back in so easily, and it transfers to everyone and everything eventually.
Surely you have learned by now that nobody forces Hillary to do anything? She has done all this because she believes in it and thinks it is the right thing to do, and because Obama is her candidate, not McCain.
Kid yourself if you like. How can you call yourself “more” of a Democrat than Obama and his supporters (including myself, Hillary supporter) when you are voting REPUBLICAN? You may call yourself a Democrat, but all you have shown is that you are a fair-weather Democrat. Which is to say, not much of a Democrat at all. And in my book, Democrats don’t get off reading purveyors of right-wing lies and hate literature.
“because she believes in it”
AHAHAHHAHA
THAT’S hillarious. Because she’s not so much of a human being who would be PISSED at being race-baited, having rags stuffed down her throat to be gagged, and have her delegates stolen from her.
She’s a politician; she has to play the game, or she won’t be in the running for 2012.
I’m a HUGE Hillary fan, and I can forgive her for doing what she’s doing, because it INSURES HER SURVIVAL.
‘justin’ did she or Bill attack Sarah Palin? DO they attack John McCain?
Sorry buddy, but that’s not “campaigning for uhbama”.
You’re naive, and ridiculous to be posting such silly logic as applied to the political realm.
I’m a progressive, google my name, but I’m not condoning the BULLSHIT LIES and RACEBAITING that uhbama has pulled.
NOPE…my party has bit the dust, and now I’m offering my vote to the lesser of two evils, and that is JOHN MCCAIN.
greatest post ever, keep preaching, these people need to hear truth every once in a while;)
Is it okay to be mad at Hillary? Can someone explain why she “has to stump for Obama”? WHY? And keeping her job isn’t a good answer for me.
Is it okay to feel threatened that she is now pushing him down our throats along with what the corrupt party bosses? Is it okay to feel betrayed?
The last I looked, all parties post here.
Citzen for McCain
Check it out, No Quarter commenters’ hate extends to Hillary Clinton now. The circle is complete; congratulations – you are now an official right-wing internet hatemonger.
Democrat for McCain here. Still a Democrat with a small d
You would do well to remember that this is a Pro Hillary site. We are voting McCain/Palin as the far better option to Nobama, but you have no need or right to come here and insult the best candidate this country’s seen since FDR in order defend Palin.
Hillary 2012
Hi, Cocky!
None of this matters. We’ve got to stop a crooked Democrat from getting into the White House.
Now that’s much better, Perry.
Kinda like Obama not being in the senate now and the last two years while he runs for president, or not holding any meetings or briefers as the chair of the FRC to Afghanistan? Voting present 130 times? That kind of dereliction of duty?
Fucking dumbass hypocrites.
He has been present for more votes than McCain. He was running for president. Sarah Palin was sitting on her behind at home while collecting a per diem.
hahahaha and tell me she isnt smart lol toooo funny…..go mccain/palin get those dems!!!!!
You Obots are so clueless!! Don’t you know everytime you pound your keyboard and put up another post, you entrench yet another Democrat into the McCain/Palin column??!!
You must have got the brilliant idea to invade anti-Obama boards from your Messiah. He is stupid enough to figure this strategy will win votes. Well, it will win votes…for McCain.

Ah, Palin is supposed to be in Alaska, whacko. She’s a state governor, not a senator.
guys don’t reply to this guy he is a major troll.
I agree…ignore the trolls.Their intention is to take us away from the original thread,that being Palin’s obviously successful meeting with world leaders.
Why
oh
WHY
should this woman give the press the time of day? Has the press shown her one iota of fairness or decorum? AT ALL?
I support Schmidt’s decision here. The press is pissed off. Let them be pissed. This is McCain’s campaign, not the medias.
Take care,
Patrick
They’re all mad that they didn’t get another tour of Europe…..
Barky had to GO TO Afganistan to visit with with President Hamid Karzai.
President Hamid Karzai came all the way to America to visit with our next Vice President!
Way to go.
This is what I call and all Around American gal. YES! She drives planes, snow mobiles Harley Davidsons,is a sharp-shooter and runs a family and a state very effectively! YES! She has an approval rating of 85% YES! She has accomplshed more in 20 years in Government than most people can in a lifetime. YES! Love her! She has beautiful kids too! Whoo Hooo
Oh and she is commander of her states proficient, first responder, National Guard!
OWWWWWWWW Bite it Barky!
And she can see Alaska from her house.
Yeah! Last night CNN compared her meeting with World Leaders to “speed dating”?! Why the F@ck should she take questions. It is obvious they are out to get her. Anything she does they will make into a negative story. While Obama’s BS doesn’t stink?! Give me a break!! I can’t watch the news, even FOX NEWS doesn’t give Obama what he deserves!
Here is the link to some video finally…
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-balan/2008/09/23/cnn-s-ed-henry-palin-trip-un-speed-dating-world-leaders
She’s already made good on one of her statements…she said she wasn’t running to please the news media, she was running to represent the American people.
I agree. Palin SHOULDN’T TALK with the press; all they would do is look for some things to criticize and down-grade her. Palin and McCain KNOW the press is out to get them. I think it’s funny! Go cry all you news reporters…boo hoo!
You got that right son. Sarah Palin is not Hillary Clinton. Sarah Palin is campaigning with a patriotic American. Did you say Clinton was campaigning with that dude who sat in that Anti-American church, TUCC, for twenty years?
for those with small memories:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/03/press-battles-with-obama-_n_84725.html
not so long ago, the press were whining about access to Fauxbama
& remember the classic: “Hey guys I’ve answered, like 8 questions?”
She’s better than Hillary. She isn’t run by the party bosses. No axes to grind and no people to please. No Clinton baggage to lose by. Now that’s effective! And she is in touch with the everyday people. Yeah! Reform alright. It’s on the way!
Go Sarah! Go Piper!
awesome!! Thanks.
The media are blowhards and i am glad the mccain campaign is making them squirm for coverage.
They have done nothing but try and tear her down.
Not in legitimate ways either. There have been lie after lie repeated about her.
She gave gibson an interview and he did a total hack job to make her look foolish and he acted like a condescending prick the whole time. Demeaning her for believeing in god as if every president we had has not believed in god or prayed for our men and women.
I say fuck the media. When they stop playing gotcha and trying to sink her for obama’s benefit, then they can have interviews.
Not to mention most of our Founding Fathers were Christians. Charlie Gibson should be deported to Sudan or Georgia or some other happy place.
In God we Trust.

McCain/Palin ‘08
I’m really getting irritated with the round emblem the Obama campaign use.
Faded Red white and blue.
What happened to Old Glory
Are they embarrassed to fly the flag
It’s a symbol of New Age Obamaism–rainbows and an ocean, happiness and light. The One takes you to a higher plane after all.
Problem is..
I retired my bong along time ago!
Yes. Take a look at this video of Charlie trying to dog her on her faith and prayer for the troops. It is about our “founding fathers”.
It’s slow moving at first but a great video if you hang in there and watch the whole thing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hpwM4Jjyrs
gibson made an ass of himself when he lavished soetorobama with questions about his family and then played college professor to Palin…..
the witches at the view commeted how sexy soetoropoopooobama looked and with McCain, they accused him with lying in his ads…..
cbs has Joe’s Gaffes come across as being thoughful, and accuses Palin of a shutout of media questions….
with axelrod astroturfing with all his PR Friends, the Media is only next door to them…..they all eat sleep and share the money coming into soetoropoopoobutt…(can’t believe people still donate to this loser)
soetorodoodoobutt rose to the top via the internet, thank god for the internet, cause it will bring him down further than where he started……
I agree Susan, the media are acting like toddlers who wet their pants out in public. Pathetic. As for Palin, she looks lovely and stately. The feminine mystique.
Anyone know when McCain will hold his presser today?
Their needs to be a revolution against the media in this country. They are turning into a Propaganda machine for the highest bidder.
That means you are no longer free. Don’t you guys get it.
Big time revolution. I can’t believe that people still continue to watch NBC and their affiliates, ABC, CNN etc…By now, it should be a full-scale boycott including an onslaught on the sponsors of these propaganda enterprises.
I wish there was a list of sponsors going around the internet right now.
Which reminds me, I need to write Toyota and Visine. My husband was wanting to buy our teenage son a Toyota truck, and that will not happen now, and I want Toyota to know that. And we use Visine products all the time. Not any more. Will buy their competitor’s brands from now on.
Don’t worry. Soon enough like Fox is doing there will be internet channels that people can tune in at their own accord without having to buy the whole cable slew of useless channels at once. When that day comes, they’ll going to get their first awakening and yes, we will remember.
Why limit it to the media?
It’s a testament to the photographer’s skill that he or she was able to get that good a shot in his or her 29 seconds in the room.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/23/media-presses-mccain-campaign-for-access-to-palin-meeting/
Not really. Taking a photo of two people sitting down isn’t that difficult. They’re photogenic which helps.
This is good. This means that McCain wouldn’t let CNN in the meeting. Awwwwwww why don’t they go take some pictures of Obama’s colon?
they can’t see the colon cause they are all the way up the intestinal tracks…..
ROFLMAO!!!!!
ROTFL!! So wrong but so funny!
TO LARYFAN: You have made my day.SORETORO DOO DOO BUTT. I am still laughing and haven’t laughed in a long while during this campaign. I’m glad they couldn’t take any pictures because the might too much resemble his ugly face.
Sorry, I meant To LARRYFAN: Iwas laughing so hard the tears were streaming and I couldn’t see.
The maturity never really stops around here, eh?
They (CNN) couldn’t get the pictures, Olbermans and then Mathews head was in the way.
LOL! How absolutely true!
Even if it was only 29 seconds (which I doubt) it certainly gives her much more foreign policy experience that Obama got in two years.
I will not read any of the papers because no matter how great she is none of the MSM will have a kind word to say about this woman. She is so good for this country and it is so sad that the entertainment industry and MSM can use the worst kind of language on her I think it is totaly disrespectful. I have lost so much respect for so many people over this election. After being a democrat and a Hillary supporter for over 40 years I will never vote for Obama and I will not begin to say what I think of him. McCain/Palin 08
never thought of Karzai with children. seems to dangerous a place to have them but I guess they come anyway.
Interesting that out of every time we’ve seen Karzai, this is the first time he mentions his son. Took a woman to get him to open up. You go girl. Noone else cared, I guess.
Common threads of humanity.
Comforting.
that is a sign of hope. he had put off having a family because of the chaos in his country.
His desire to have a family now in my mind indicates that things are going better in Afghanistan than our MSM is willing to admit. THere is much more stability and in time the level of violence will begin to subside.
When the media begin to behave like a responsible bunch and call Governor Palin by her title, then perhaps she will grant an interview.
It is the media that need her not the other way around.
Good work McCain campaign. Toodles to the Paparazi media freaks. All Politics are local…..as one can determine by noticing the smaller and smaller ratings for the network news and the New York Times is shrinking more and more as is its influence. Bravo to the people’s voices over the screeching MSM.
After that NBC SNL “incest’ skit, I will NEVER again watch that SNL…They crossed the line..They are the “lowest of the lowest”..Shame, shame on them!..
Now we have comedians saying who should run the country…not funny ones even.
The Obamacrats are throwing hissy fits on every blog about this locking out of the press. One comment read “who do they think they are to lock out the press?”……it must have them worried. I think the McCain camp is creating a picture of someone who
is not there for showmanship but to actually talk one on one with a leader. It is a great contast to Obama’s European trip. Plus anything that drives this people crazy can’t be all bad. They don’t seem to want to talk about Obama saying today that he will
not be able to do all he promised because of money constraints………something McCain got trashed for
when he said it.
Why shouldn’t they lock out the press? Barky does. And the people, with his free speech zones, and his ropes to keep the people away from him. He doesn’t like the unwashed, dirty masses, does he?
THANK YOU very much…exactly what I was thinking.
Does she not strike a picture of elegance and stature? Just look at those pics, they say a picture is a thousand words, this woman looks regal as if she was made for the part of leadership.
She will make a wonderful ambassadress for the USA, a VP that commands everyone’s presence in the room
Yes, she is elegant. And she’s still a hockey mom, governor, wife. And she hunts, fishes, and goes out with her husband on their fishing boat. And her enthusiasm is so refreshing. Who says we women can’t do it all? The Democratic Party lost sooooo much this year with their knee jerk sexism…putting it out there for all to see.
Will be giving them a message in November!
McCain/Palin ‘08
I think the Obamafans are just unhappy that no one wanted to meet with Obama, I don’t blame these leaders Sarah is much better looking than he is lol
I live in a small town in rural Minnesota and went down to rep hqs today and you should have seen the the Dem for McCane signs going out.
Thank you for posting these wonderful photos. Gov. Sarah looks, well, presidential.
Have you seen the crowds she is drawing? wow wow wow
60,000 and up! wow wow wow! Brains, backbone, heart, soul, integrity and beauty combined. I’ll take it! She’s experienced too! hahaha
McCain/Palin 2008! What a team!
AND she’s from the great Northwest! whooo hooo
Let’s show you Easterners how it goes.
You can bet the Obama campaign will downplay her meetings and continue to vaunt his similar cram for exams meetings during his last trip abroad. Women are always questioned about their experience and assumed to have less ability than their male counterparts. It is this assumption about ability that Sarah Palin is dealing with. When pundits talk about Sarah Palin’s “lack of experience,” what they really mean is that because she is a woman (”An Alaska Beauty Queen”, as Juan Williams and Allen Colmes so eloquently, independently and sexistly put it the other night) she lacks ability. You have to get a hell of a lot of experience to make up for that assumed lack of ability if you are a woman. When the pundits talk about Obama’s experience level, what they are talking about is his assumed ability level because he is male. Even a little tiny taste of any experience gained by the ability-rich man is assumed to undergo a male enhancement multiplier effect. That’s why PUMA’s will vote for Sarah. We are sick and tired of this unfair “undetected” double standard. Juan Williams is a fish swimming in our society’s water who has been asked, “How is the water?” And Juan replies, “what water?” That’s how sexism surrounds and permeates us and this Presidential campaign.
Starve a troll today.
Yes, she does look presidential–And, I’m betting she doesn’t get $400 haircuts. In fact, I suspect she isn’t followed around by a platoon of beauticians. Why? She’s authentic–does her own hair and makeup.
I believe she’ll be good for the nation. Go, Sarah!
The thing that is so interesting is that every time an Obama supporter slams Palin, they make her more popular. Yet..they can’t help themselves.
Which is why Bill Clinton said Democrats need to stop doing that. But, as my husband noted yesterday, she drew a 60,000+ crowd Sunday. The Democrats can’t ignore that. Kind of a quandry there, isn’t it?
Yes, the media can ignore it all they want; but you are so right, THE DEMS CAN’T.
They need donations for Palins Fund to accomodate the crowds she is getting with bigger venues. Please donate today. http://www.johnmccain.com
Image has a lot to do when it come to appealing to voters, and Palin does strike a very Presidential look in these pics no one can deny that.
These pics portray elegance, beauty, smarts all wrapped up in one. Standing on a podium giving long winded speeches is one thing, but having the right image to make a voter say yes this is my candidate is another thing.
That is one thing that Plain has image and a authenticity about her that will bring something fresh and new to Washington, people are looking for that in a candidate someone that they can be proud of, Palin has all these qualities that is why so many are out to try and destroy that image.
Hmmm…I don’t seem to remember the msm making any wise cracks about BO’s march through Europe and the Middle East as speed dating….
Was that because they all tagged along with him and bid for interview times?
How many heads of state had the peanut farmer met before he became president? Georgie Bush rarely followed his father around the world while he was in the UN or when he was President. How many heads of state (besides Saudi Arabia etc) had he met before he became president?
I hate to be too “sensitive” but this is another case of sexist treatment. She’s a g*ddamn GOVERNOR for heaven’s sake–treat her with a little respect!
PUMA PROWLER–right on! Ditto what you said.
I sometimes wonder if Palin were less attractive, would they be less likely to treat her like a bimbo and buffoon?
No, then they would just comment on her “cankles” or some such.
Cal Thomas:
“Palin is making left increasingly desperate”
“It doesn’t know how to handle Sarah Palin but that’s OK. It has become increasingly clear that Sarah Palin knows how to handle them.”
Cal is not normally my cup of tea, but he CAN bring heat when he chooses!
Susan:
Thank you very much for posting the pictures and links to Sarah Palin’s U.N./NYC Visit.
read this great article:
“The Problem with Palin Bashing”
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/09/enough_is_enough.html
This is a good article. But, the issue that inflames the Hollywood types is abortion, not gay rights. Because see is not pro-choice, she is considered a feminist fraud.
Obama is a liar, period. He said he wants to tax only the top 5%, and places the income level at 250,000. Anyone who makes over 135,000 is in the top 5%, so where is Barry coming up with the rest? Also, Barry is lifting the cap on social security, which means if you make more than 97,500, you will be taxed an additional 7.65%. C’mon Obots, tell the truth, the taxman cometh.
I think you are confusing individual and family income. The cap rate is $102,000 in 2008 and Obama said he might not start the increase until 250,000. Also, the rate would only be 6.2% because medicare at 1.45% is already taxed. Tell me about McCain’s plan to take away health deductibility.
I am begging someone to monitor this web site for total junk. It is such a waste of time reading posts from thugs like “cocky whacko.” I know people are upset about the situation with this election, but the obscenities and the idiocy that have sprouted up from the dregs of society lately make recommending this site an embarassment. It used to be my source for intelligent, factual information.
I have not written any obscenities. I have gotten mostly insults to my substantive comments.
I didn’t read all the comments here but I just want to say…
IF Obama were meeting with these same people in the same places Palin is he would have done the same thing about the press and the press knows it. They will find anything to use against Palin. They are having fits because they have nothing new to bash her with…
They want to ruin her and that is all there is to it.
Good point. And, in a way, I want them to keep bashing her. It makes her all that much more popular, and more and more people are responding to her very favorably.
I’ve known for a long time that most our pols, of all parties, were out of touch with mainstream America, but this year it’s become so obvious. It needs to be. We’re long overdue for a good shake up in Washington from We the People, who own that White House (contrary to what they think).
“OMG, she looks like a VP. How can a woman do this,” Barack Obama wonders as he confers with Joe Biden.
If only Obama had known that women can legitimately fill the executive offices of the U.S., he would have picked Senator Clinton.
Is this another example of being right on day one thinking?
Governor Palin has it in spades over the Biden character she is competing against. Why should anyone ever again trust these tried and true cheats and failures called Obama and Biden?
McCain/Palin ‘08
We’ll look again in four years,,,
Gov. Palin has listening skills…
What Obama calls listening is just the sound of voices in his head.
By the way, great photos! I do wish to be represented by this woman. Meanwhile old Joe seems to wish he’d stayed in his Senate seat instead of bouncing off the pavement out in the hearts of America…
As for NObama, well, he probably just needs to sleep it off.
If I were an expert at “body language”, I’d say the guys like her just fine!
Gawd Axelrod WANNA BE…give it a rest already.
“JKFriz” …you could at least come up with a better screen name….
McCain’s gift to Obama indeed…in your dreams.
The best part of Axelrod’s now famous astroturfing is that it gives a false sense of security to the losers that are backing Obama. And a lazy lot they are too. Keep it up Dave, they just think they don’t have to bother to vote or campaign because “The One” is so far ahead in the polls already, why bother?
The downside? The rest of us actual adults will have to listen to all the caterwauling the day after the elections because the Obamabots will be so shell shocked.
But I for one am willing to pay that *snark* small price…..
Well, I hope McCain does too. The inheritance-tax exemption is nothing but a boondoggle for the Paris Hiltons of the world.
I have it from an inside source that all the guys in the photos actually thought they were meeting with Tina Fey…
I can’t remember where I picked this up, but it is relevent to today…but you will not hear this discussed by Congress.

Oh Good Lord…People…this country is in trouble. It’s not time to go out and vote for someone as unelectable as that idiot Obama. Cmon. Who in their right mind would ever do it? Unless, of course, you hate America like he does. This is a joke. He will never win. The polls are BS and probably bought off by Soros like all of the other MSM. When November 4 comes, the GOP bombs will have been dropped, people won’t be able to lie for Obama and hide what and who he is, and they will do the RIGHT THING FOR AMERICA AND VOTE MCCAIN/PALIN. Personally I am thrilled to do it. I’m not some disgruntled Hillary voter whining that I have to do it. I am an AMERICAN. I don’t give a DAMN about PARTY. That’s frigging pathetic and stupid when the PARTY DIDN’T CARE ABOUT US. I will vote for the people with intelligence, honesty, integrity, passion and love of America, and the courage and strength to keep us safe and help us prosper. THAT’S THE MCCAIN PALIN TICKET. PERIOD.
Great pics and story. Very touching. Thanks for sharing, Susan.
I like this woman. She is OK. The MSM are now squealing that they could not tag along with her. Good for her. It is time for these verbal and photographic paparazzi to be ignored. Perhaps then a real reporter will own up to actually being a member of the “free press” and actually do some unbiased reporting.
You know they were trying to avoid looking her legs. My uncle said she too pretty to be VP.
“It seems many of the so called elite’s who swarm to Vail to ski are now taking up permanent residence in Colorado and changing the make-up of certain parts of the state.”
That would be the Wall Street brokers, investment bankers, and analysts who have relocated to the location of their 2nd/3rd home.

Great pics and story. She looks lovely and very Presidential.
its funny ,no roflmo,that thease trols actualliy think barkys going to help the average person .i mean all they have to do is go ask rezkos tennants in barkys state senate district how well it worked out for them.whats really funny is they are his own race and he brushes them off for power and money.god only knows what he would do for the rest of us.meanwhile sarah fights her own party and the pil companys and puts a extra $1200 in every alaskans pocket.yea barky will be our champion,when pigs fly!
The media cannot stand it when a politician who is not getting a fair hearing from them goes over their heads and speaks directly to the people. Palin does not need the media. They are an obstacle. They have made their bias very clear. Ronald Reagan also went over the heads of the media. He knew he did not need THEM to get his message to the people. Neither does Sarah Palin. So the media can moan & groan all they want – they have been exposed as propagandists for the Obama campaign. They have no basis for complaint now.
this is my favorite place. thanks,
LARRY and SUSAN
god bless america
I’m for Gov. Palin, she has more smarts than Obama and has shown it on her campaign trail.
Why would anyone want to vote for someone whose “roots” are NOT American?? Obama’s “roots” are
Arab, Indonesia, and Kenya!! Why would you want to vote for Obama with roots non-American? Are you voters ready to “sell-out” America to an Arab to be
President of America??? “WAKE UP AMERICANS”, please
DON’T sell-out our Country to an Arab as our President. “WAKE UP AMERICANS” VOTE COUNTRY FIRST.
“NO WAY OBAMA”
Spoken like a true bigot.
It’s an Obot black op post.
You cannot watch Campbell Brown and even entertain the thought of voting for Obama.
The more I hear about Sarah Palin, the more I like her. Same goes for almost everyone I know.
Isn’t PPP the same poll that had Obama winning CA by 12 points?
Tomorrow is the deadline for the DNC and the Soetoro campaign to respond to the Federal lawsuit.
Obama sexy? Give me a break. Those women must be really desperate!!! ha ha ha!!!
You mean…you don’t fancy blue gums?
